A Whirlwind Tour through the Managed Extensibility Framework (MEF) (blog.bartdesmet.net)

submitted by crpietschmann(11.1k) 6 months, 1 day ago

From a hotel lobby in the sunny city of Durban, South-Africa, waiting for my plane transfer after a great TechEd Africa event. Why not write a blog post on one of my talks: the Managed Extensibility Framework, or MEF. As we steam ahead to release .NET 4.0, it’s great to see the amount of new APIs that will make it into this release. I had the opportunity to talk on three of those the past few days: * The Dynamic Language Runtime (System.Dynamic) with dynamic support in C# and VB, and dynamic languages like IronPython and IronRuby. * New additions for parallel programming (Task Parallel Library, PLINQ, Coordination Data Structures). * The Managed Extensibility Framework (System.ComponentModel.Composition). read more...

The 31 Days of ReSharper - Excellent collection of tips and tutorials (www.excastle.com)

submitted by marcos(2775) 2 years, 9 months ago

From the page: "JetBrains, the guys who make ReSharper, have a lot of info on their Web site that shows off some of the ReSharper features. But I think it's a lot to absorb in one sitting. And besides, it could use the point-of-view of an actual, happy customer, saying "These are my absolute favorite features" instead of the complete laundry list. So I'm setting aside February on my blog for the "31 Days of ReSharper"." read more...

published 2 years, 9 months ago, submitted by recluse(60) 2 years, 9 months ago

Enable/disable crash recovery 5. Move the IE menu bar above the address bar 6. Hide search bar. 7. Modify the maxium number of parallel connections to the web server. 8. Select the external program to view page source AD Blocker Blocks all forms of advertising, including Flash ads, rich media, fly-ins, slide-ins, pop-ups, pop-unders, spyware and adware ads, and messenger ads. Super Drag and Drop With 'Super Drag and Drop' enabled, you can open new links by simply dragging and dropping the link on the page. You can also Drag and Drop to search selected words with the default search engine or save the selected photo when Shift is held down. Mouse Gesture Mouse Gesture allow the user to execute commonly performed tasks (open/close a tab, go back, go forward , print , scrolling page etc.) by drawing a simple symbol on the screen. Crash Recovery Crash Recovery automatically restores all opened pages after a crash happened. Save Page to Image Flexible and easy-to-use tool that converts html page from any URL to image. It captures the whole web page's content into JPG, BMP , GIF , PNG or TIFF on the fly. Quick Proxy Switcher Different internet connections do often require completely different proxy server settings and it's a real pain to change them manually. Greasymonkey alike User Script IE7Pro Script is to Internet Explorer7 as Greasemonkey is to Firefox. It lets you remix the Web via scripts. read more...
